In case you don't recall her name, Freud's mother was Amalia Nathanson, Freud's father's younger third wife.

But if you were opening a place of lodging in New York named the Dream Hotel, would you not covet an adjacent restaurant named for the woman who gave us Freud himself?

A 135-seat restaurant and lounge, to be named “Amalia” no less, will open in late November 2006 at 210 West 55th Street, complete with a passage to the Dream Hotel. The restaurant's décor—dark and intimate on the lower levels, floating and cloudlike upstairs—is the creation of noted New York restaurant designer Steve Lewis, whose other culinary works of architecture include two other Big Apple restaurants, Butter and Aspen.

Certainly, those attending the Winter 2007 Meeting won't want to miss Freud's mother!
